Its up and running! Now only if I didn't have to pawn my DS off for extra cash... ****!

I might get one for Animal Crossing online...

ALL WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

Or Nintendo DS players.

I commonly refer to the Nintedo DS, as the Nintendo BS.

This could be because you suck, like your namesake has already proven.

No. Spending Over $100 on a handheld system that hardly has any good games, is still outsold by the Gameboy Advance, and cannot connect to mass servers only local area (without a Wi-Fi) sucks. Not to mention it's internet and video incapabilites.

Seriously people. Save your money. Buy a PSP. Packed full of games, movies, music, emulators, and internet access (if you buy the program) you won't regret it. It owns DS, iPod, and Palm Pilot.

Learn to read.

The DS just went TOTALLY online.

Let me remind you of Gamegear versus Gameboy.

Gamegear also had superior stats. Better graphics and what have you.

BUT THE LITTLE DOT MATRIX GAMEBOY THAT COULD RULED IT.


As I recall the DS now sells better than the PSP anyways. It takes alot of BALLS to do something different instead of unleashing the same boring old crap everyone else is doing.


Also, it's rediculous that you insist the PSP is better than an I-Pod or a Palm Pilot. Music playing, and schedule making aren't even natively useful features. Not to mention the PSP is alot bigger than an I-pod.

I am going to have Mario Kart DS and a USB DS adapter. <3 Nintendo

Only half true. In Japan the DS sells better, but that's because Nintedo is so much bigger over there, and appeals more to the anime faction. And don't forget the DS went on sale during a holiday season. However, PSP sales set a record in the UK, as the fastest selling console ever. Do your research. I could spend $120 on a lot better things.

O yeah, and totally online should't require a Wi-Fi hotspot.

You need Wi-Fi to play PSP online.

Also, I definately remember an article about the DS selling better WORLDWIDE.

Actually you don't. You can buy the adapter that acts like a cell phone antenna. I also think there are some satellite services available too.

Because cellphone signals are much more reliable than sitting in Mcdonalds.

Since FF3 is remade for DS, FF6 for GBA (...or at least ported), and since DS can supposedly run GBA games, I guess I may buy DS someday.

Except, those don't work for the PSP.

Good try though.

*cough* run the originals via SNES emulator on PSP *cough*

But they ain't remade /_\

(Even though I won't probably buy FF6 for GBA if it's just a silly port, I already got the PSX port)

Also, 100% working PSP & DS emulators would be damn great, even though the idea seems more utopistic than shaved FGR arse.

Um, then why are Nintendogs and that brain game so big for DS over in Japan? That's not really anime... And how many damn RPG's does Sony have that look anime'ish...

DS 3,528,392 > 1,995,504. They launched one month apart in Japan.

Now, with this whole record setting UK launch. True, but a month later - who was outselling who? All sources I can find (can't find the numbers though) point to DS outselling PSP.

Sony fans saying it's due to a PSP shortage in Europe! If that's true, whose fault is that. Plus, Sony announced they shipped 2.67 million units to Europe alone, but the sales don't match the shipping figures. So how's this huge shortage in the UK. Even which, their sales in the first week were like 185,000. Set a record - but isn't that huge in the world sales.

Sony stats:

"However, the system's software-to-hardware ratio leaves much to be desired, as SCE disclosed that it has shipped 19.6 million PSP games as of September, a tie ratio of less than two games per unit."

Two games per unit?

And you're saying the DS has no good games?

Clearly a biased Sony fan. There's plenty of good DS games coming out (and already out). Even most PSP fans will tell you that there's a shortage of really good PSP games. You got GTA, Lumines, and a couple others.


According to some figures, Japan is the only area that the PSP is ONLY being outsold by the DS. Other area's it's being outsold by the DS and GBA.


PSP can do more, but do I want to spend $40 to watch a movie on a portable? No. It can play music, connect to internet, etc. It can do a lot of cool stuff - however, it should focus more on producing games then being a all in one gadget.

DS is just that - a handheld gaming system. If you get past the 'shallow' attitude of better graphics = better games, then maybe you'll see why the DS is selling so well.

PSP outsells DS by a landslide in Europe.

PSP and DS are almost equal in North America (DS wins by a little)

DS outsells the PSP in Japan.


Now figure that one out.

I don't like the games on DS. I like the games on the PSP. But I will agree, the PSP needs a larger game library if it is ever going to get anywhere.

Source for Europe?

I know they had huge launches for Europe, but launch day sales can be misleading for actual sales after that as they always fall.

All I've ever seen announced has been launch day figures. No weekly sales...

If only the DS had better graphics and power.

[QUOTE=Cool Matty]Now figure that one out.

America is fat and loves McDonalds LOLZIER.

The DS has many things going for it, and this includes a few really neat games that will be awesome online. However, the PSP has a great library and just now came out with a SLEW of games. This includes GTA:LCS, Socom, Hot Shots, Burnout, etc etc. True these aren't all original games, but still. The ability to go anywhere and play these games online is awesome. Not to mention they have one of the most anticipated sequels in the history of RPGS--an FF7 game.

They both have their merits, and the sales are nowhere near conclusive yet at only a year released.

Wo Crap! Cool Matty and I actaully agree on something!!! LOL.

The DS is cooler because it has a touchscreen.

Way to go derailing this thread with an unnecessary flame and then posting post after post riddled with inaccuracies.

The DS is outselling the PSP by 300,000 or so in America (Or maybe it's worldwide) either way...

[QUOTE=Victor Van Dort]The DS is outselling the PSP by 300,000 or so in America (Or maybe it's worldwide) either way...[/QUOTE]

By about 2 million worldwide, 300,000 in America. 300,000 isn't much though--the PSP sold something like 200,000 at launch in Japan. The DS wins only because of pricepoint and the fact that most kids don't know the difference/don't have a choice in what they get. Honestly, if you're a parent, would you pay 300 to entertain your kid on the go, or 150? 350, actually, with a game. That'll change this Christmas with the 200 dollar value pack probably coming out, along with cheaper quality titles (I'm sure the PSP will implement some kind of "greatest hits system sometime soon).

When you look at how much money has been spent on both, and the fact that Sony has moved more software than the DS, it's not hard to see that it's actually a very even matchup.

EITHER WAY, all this fanboyism is giving me a headache. Honestly, I'd love to play Animal Crossing and Goldeneye online--just as much as I love playing GTA on the go. They're both good--stop saying one's better than the other because, hell, the GBA didn't come into its own for about 3 years, when all the greatest titles started being released. You have to admit--this does not reek of Gamegearism though. The PSP is Nintendo's first true handheld competition, and is gaining momentum as people learn more about it.

True, but you argue that with the sales figures of PS2, Xbox, and GCN - with GCN being the lowest price.

The PS2 won out, I'm 99% certain

Yeah GNC got pwnd on sales compared to PS2 and maybe even XBox

Mainly because the PS2 came out earlier, and had better marketing.

As I recall, Nintendo made money from the GC where as Sony and Microsoft lost money on PS2 and X-box.

Microsoft lost money, but I have no idea how Sony could have lost money seeing as how they sold the most units and theirs was hardly the most expensive to assemble.
